They had their own unshirkable responsibilities, and fate had already placed them on opposite sides. Since they couldn't even be friends anymore, clinging to the past wouldn't be good for either of them.
Seven days later, Lin Feng seemed to have completely forgotten about Tang Chen. He also arrested everyone who had any connection with Tang Chen or Qingliang Valley and imprisoned them in the government office. The prison, which already held many people, suddenly became crowded with the arrival of these people.
Lin Feng was just thinking about how to report these people to the Qingliang Palace when his men hurried in. "Sir, the Xiahou Tower Master has returned, bringing with him a coffin. I don't know what's inside, but upon his return, he ordered his men to carry the contents to the ice cellar."
The contents of the coffin weren't anything special. Xiahou Qing, the old fox, had carefully considered the future and had left himself many options for recovery. The contents of the coffin might be one of them. "...Why would he return to Qinghe County at this time? Who's watching over Yaochen now?"
"The four Pavilion Masters of Tianshu Tower are here." Before coming, his subordinates had already investigated everything they could find out and what Lin Feng might ask. This execution ability can be said to be very strong.
Lin Feng gathered up the things on the table, stood up and said, "Let's go and see what this old fox is up to."
...What Lin Feng and Xiahou Qing said in that freezing ice cellar, no one knew except them. But not long after, Tang Chen, furious, took the expedited letter from Qinghe and wished he could run to Qinghe County right now to capture Lin Feng and throw him off the cliff outside the house.
"Lin Feng is really crazy!"
Liang Shuyi came over with the lunch box, and was startled by Tang Chen when she pushed the door open: "What happened? You scared me."
After Tang Chen calmed down, he coughed twice and asked while picking up the paper balls on the ground: "...Nothing, has Chen Xin returned to the barracks?"
Seeing that she looked like something serious had happened, Liang Shuyi pressed her relentlessly, "Well, I just sent him out. What happened to you that made you so angry?"
Tang Chen asked with a complicated expression, "Shuyi, tell me, if I take people to Qinghe County secretly at this time, will Wang Yanzhou get angry?"
Liang Shuyi's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. What was going on outside? Was she crazy? "Are you crazy? Don't you know what the situation is now? Xiahou Qing and the others may be in Qinghe County recently. If you go there, won't you be walking into a trap?"
Tang Chen analyzed seriously, "On the surface, the Qingliang Palace is the backbone of Daliang. Xiahou Qing, you shouldn't dare to tear your face off with us in public, right?"
Liang Shuyi didn't know if Xiahou Qing dared to break up with her. She only knew that Tang Chen was no longer the Princess of Qingliang, and Princess Fenglai's reputation was strong. If Tang Chen were to go out as the Princess, she would probably incite public outrage. "What happened? If anything went wrong, you have to tell me. How can I give you advice or help you if you don't?"
Tang Chen thought about it and felt that Liang Shuyi's words made sense. After all, there were only the two of them and a big, sleeping kid here. It would be helpful to ask her for some advice: "Lin Feng, arrest Zhirou and Liu Yong's family."
Forget about Su Zhirou, but isn't Liu Yong the shopkeeper who helps Tang Chen run his study? What does Lin Feng mean now? Is he targeting ordinary people?
Tang Chen saw that Liang Shuyi was also a little surprised, and then added: "Shu Yang came to me with a letter earlier. The letter looked like it was written by Shangguan Bing'er. But after I had it returned the same way, I found out that the letter came from Qinghe County."
Liang Shuyi asked, "You mean, the letter was sent by Lin Feng?"
Tang Chen wasn't 100% sure about this matter, but judging by the current surface phenomena, it shouldn't be far from the truth: "It's probably close."
Liang Shuyi said that if Tang Chen was worried about them, he shouldn't rush into it just yet. What if this news was just a trap set by Lin Feng to lure Tang Chen back? "Qingliang Valley isn't exactly worlds away from Qinghe County, but even if we're anxious, it'll take time. Why not ask Master Zhang to help investigate the situation first?"
Tang Chen pinched the paper ball in his hand with a worried look on his face and said, "I'm just afraid..."
Liang Shuyi was afraid that she had made up her mind to run away from home. If she left now, there wouldn't be as many people looking for her and staying by her side as before. "Given the current situation in Qinghe County, even if this incident hadn't happened, we would have to go there soon. Don't be too anxious. Wait for Wang Yanzhou to come back and discuss it with him before making a decision."
To be honest, Tang Chen was really anxious, but she really didn't want to cause trouble for others. If she ran away without saying a word, she would really let down those who cared about her: "...Okay. By the way, is Princess Fenglai feeling better? I've been a little upset these past few days, so I haven't been to the palace."
Speaking of Princess Fenglai, Liang Shuyi's face was also full of guilt: "I don't know what Chen Xin gave her to eat. She is always better for a while and not so good for a while. Alas, what a petty man."
Tang Chen couldn't help but smile. Chen Xin was really good to Liang Shuyi. "He's just protecting his own people. It was Feng Lai who provoked you first. I think he knows his limits. I guess he'll be fine after a couple of days."
Liang Shuyi sighed slightly and said helplessly, "I hope so. If I really hurt the princess, I won't be able to explain to the Kingdom of Shu."
After the two sat together and chatted for a while, Tang Chen, not knowing whether he had lost his memory or what, repeated what he had just said: "Shuyi, um, how about you help me take care of the baby for a few days?"
Liang Shuyi heard a hint of deceit in Tang Chen's words: "...No, you don't want to run away from home again!"
Tang Chen hurriedly explained: "What do you mean by 'again'? I'm a serious person. I'm just worried about them. Besides, when adults go out for a walk, can that be called running away from home? Besides, if I can't agree with Wang Yanzhou in a few words, I will go to Qinghe County to ask Qinghe for help."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Yanzhou pushed the door open and walked in, "What do you want to see Master Zhang for?"
Liang Shuyi had just arrived when he noticed someone coming. He thought it was the Qilin Guard, but he didn't expect it to be Wang Yanzhou. "It's really hard to say who's behind this. Speak of the devil, and he'll find you. You guys can continue chatting. I'll go back first."
